IN BRIEF
|
In an effort to facilitate travel between France and Italy, the airline alliance SkyTeam has recently established a partnership with Trenitalia, the main train operator in Italy. This innovative collaboration allows passengers to combine their flight and train bookings, thereby simplifying their travel planning. With smooth travel options across iconic cities like Rome, Milan, and Florence, this partnership aims to provide an enhanced and convenient travel experience for international travelers.
An optimized intermodal network #
Since the signing of this agreement, SkyTeam offers its customers the possibility to book routes that include both air and rail segments. This development follows a previous partnership with Eurostar, thereby expanding access to European destinations. Thanks to the collaboration with Trenitalia, travelers can easily reach their dream destinations in Italy while avoiding the hassles associated with multiple bookings.
Discovering Italian cities with Trenitalia #
The Frecciarossa network, Trenitalia’s high-speed line, whisks travelers to numerous famous cities in record time. Whether exploring Rome with its ancient ruins, admiring Florence and its artistic heritage, or savoring the cuisine in Naples, the possibilities are endless. The integration of trains in SkyTeam bookings allows passengers to approach these treasures without worrying about purchasing separate train tickets, making every trip simple and enjoyable.
Expanded international connectivity #
The agreement between SkyTeam and Trenitalia also boosts international connectivity. Major Italian cities, such as Milan and Turin, are now directly accessible from airports with international flights. A journey can begin with a flight from New York to Rome, followed by a train ride to Bologna, all within the same booking. This intermodal strategy offers passengers greater flexibility and direct access to attractive destinations.
Benefits for SkyTeam and Trenitalia members #
The pooling of loyalty programs is one of the many advantages of this partnership. SkyTeam members can earn points during their train journeys on Frecciarossa routes, while Trenitalia passengers can benefit from their loyalty points on SkyTeam flights. This interconnection enhances the traveler experience, providing a unique opportunity to maximize benefits for frequent travelers.

Towards future expansion in France #
This promising partnership is not limited to Italy. Trenitalia is already planning to expand its connections to France with ambitious projects, including direct routes from Paris to Lyon, and potentially to Marseille. This advancement would provide travelers with a convenient and efficient alternative to explore not only Italy but also French destinations.
Ultimately, with the establishment of this agreement between SkyTeam and Trenitalia, opportunities for travelers between France and Italy are increasing, transforming travel into a seamless and enjoyable process while promoting sustainable tourism.
